Plant Lesson January 2022
✨🌱✨
I rescued this philodendron caramel marble from a giveaway 10 years ago. Over that time it has grown strong, added more leaves and now flowering! I’ve been researching to learn more about my old friend. Turns out she’s very rare and so therefore very valuable.

Learned a new thing about Bay Laurel. 🌿
This time of year is for foraging bay laurel nuts. They have always been around I just need to slow down and look👀. After they dry, I’ll open up and find the seed, roast and grind them up. Then into French press with boiling water. Tastes like dark chocolate meets spicy coffee. Yum! Keep you posted on progress.
